The Thinkpad I received was in functionally perfect condition. The body of the laptop had no scratches whatosever, the display had no scratches or defects like dead pixels, and the keyboard felt brand new with keycaps that were definitely unused and free of plastic wear or fingerprinting.
The Ryzen 5 Pro 5675U benches nearly as well as an i7-8700K overclocked to 4.9 GHz in my testing, making this one heck of workhorse for the price. Gaming was also surprisingly good despite no dedicated graphics after I installed 32gb of RAM for an additional $40, then changed the VRAM in BIOS to 4GB.
Genshin Impact ran at 1080p, 0.8 render scale, and medium settings with a comfortable 30 FPS. I was even able to play Armored Core 6 at 720p low to medium settings with a steady 30 FPS. Classic games and indies will be zero problem, as I've been playing Guild Wars on its highest settings at 1080p 120-200 FPS in most areas.
The value here is incredible. You get a fairly powerful CPU for the form factor and price, and even some casual gaming capability, all for $320. I would suggest a RAM upgrade to 32GB, however, because the integrated Radeon graphics will dedicate some amount of the system RAM for itself. That brings the total to $360 in my case, which is still an incredible value for the system you're getting here.
